In the summer of 1998 my son contacted Harry Shannon from Northern Ireland, who is world champion in long time flight since 1995. As a result he sent me three couples of his famous breeding pigeons.
The Pigeon in the nest is one of the three cocks (NTU 1776-90), which flew 19 hours and 19 minutes on 01.07.1990 and 19 hours on 15.07.1990.
![The pigeon was hit by a bird of prey and is the daughter of the cock (NTU 1776-90). It is my own breed from 1999.](https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=360x10000:format=jpg/path/sd17b796ff2c86e36/image/i765304218d5bfd20/version/1356170690/image.jpg)
